Today however, Katuntu claimed that his client was interrogated by police and wondered why the state is still harassing him.
//Cue in: I wonder how
Cue out: #the allegation that were labeled against him.//
Katuntu brought the matter before Mukono magistrate's chief court Grade II magistrate Charles Kadisi.
Geoffrey Mutebi, the prosecutor however denied knowledge of the alleged torture
Katuntu also accused the police of attempting to rectify what he describes as the tramped up charges against his client.
Magistrate Kadisi adjourned the case to the 13 of Jan 09 when the case will appear for mention and asked the accused to apply for bail from the high court.
